I was assuming the holiday timer would still be a bit after new years...

So, what is up with Hubabl / Donovan situation? Are parties clear on who plays after whom? I saw Hubabl logging in and staying for quite a while in game but he did not end turn.

Nevermind, he played just as I posted.

A few comments.

Speaking of I know it was agreed on already for this game but I’m not sure the “no extensions without request” policy is the wisest. Especially when we spend several months on these games and one turn can gravely shift things. I’m not trying to relitigate, but I would vote for more generous extensions in the next PBs
I agree that war turns should not be missed, but two of the admins for this game are players and have limited knowledge of the whole picture, so we rely on others to inform us when extensions are needed.

Apologies, I can see why you'd think that, which is why I posted earlier that the turn that was active Jan 1st (T109) was the last I'd automatically extend.

Amica reached out and asked for an extension, so added 4h.

Hi. I am not really sure what's happening with my hotspot but I have had increasing difficulty connecting over the last week (I assume my speed has gotten slower to the point of near-nonexistence?). This culminated yesterday when I tried to login but got stuck at the loading screen (PBSpy probably shows me trying repeatedly) which is why I asked Tarkeel for an extension, and today I can't even connect to the server. I'm not sure what to do. I might need either a short-term replacement until my internet gets fixed (genuinely random date between 10-20th January), or RB tech support. I don't think I'll be able to play my turn tonight in any case, sorry.

Any chance of a lurker substitute?

I assume you're using Ramk's wrapper (BTS_Wrapper.exe), as without it loading does take ages.
Similarly, you're not being throttled by your ISP due to excessive usage on other fronts?
Will add 12 hours for now, and hope someone can help get your turn played.
(GT is also yet to play)

Definitely using the wrapper. I don't think it's an ISP issue, as I'm just using mobile data. I only have 1 bar of signal most of the time though, occasionally two. I have noticed that it has generally gotten slower over the last two weeks, it might just be a hardware issue with my phone I'm not sure. I suspect the issue is that I'm just timing out when I try to login. Loading RB pages on my phone takes a good 5-10 secs, but when I try to hotspot it on a computer it pretty much just doesn't work.
As mentioned very open to a lurker playing. I don't know if being spoiled is an issue or not (lurkers can decide), probably best to just get the game moving though.
The way internet works here is the government is in charge, and as I'm in a rural ish area it will literally just be the first day someone is available to install the necessary components. If I'm really lucky that could be Tuesday, if I'm unlucky it could be in two weeks. Shockingly, as far as I can tell I don't even have a way to contact them - I just have to wait for them to contact me. Grumble grumble.
